![]() “No I ain't got the answers to this / I'm wondering if this is as bad as it gets,” Kamaiyah admits on “For My Dawg”, the mixtape’s concluding and most sensitive track. ![]() But, most importantly, it’s honest and emotional - it’s a mixtape that uses positive energy in order to bring attention to difficult subjects, like a parent giving their child a chocolate bar before taking them to get a flu jab. It’s smart, it’s catchy and it even manages to successfully reclaim the word ‘hoochie’. This is what makes her breakthrough single “How Does It Feel” still amongst her strongest – its chorus of: “I’ve been broke all my life, now I wonder / How does it feel to be rich?” turns a secret curiosity from something seen as shameful into an arms-in-the-air singalong to be proud of.Ī Good Night in the Ghetto is an outstanding listen for so many reasons. Granted, a lot of people dream about one day having ample cash at their disposable, but Kamaiyah is refreshing by taking this familiar feeling and using it to enhance her insanely addictive ‘90s-inspired hip-hop.
